STAMFORD, Conn. (CBSNewYork) — A pro-Palestinian ad at one train platform has ignited a battle of sorts. Now both sides in the Arab-Israeli conflict are targeting Metro-North train platforms with their side of the story.

“One of the billboards actually talks about how in the Bible, this 3,000-year-old bestseller, Israel has always been the Jewish homeland,” Posnick told WCBS 880’s Adams. “We talk about how Israel needs a partner for peace on the Palestinian side, and also show Israel’s contributions to the world.

“I think people who saw the other billboards, hopefully when they see ours will realize that there are facts that are not being told and that the original billboards were misleading.”

Some riders said they wish the two sides would send their messages somewhere else.

“I think it’s too bad the two sides can’t get together and negotiate. I think its terrible,” said Betsey Weber of Ridgefield, Conn.

“The truth lies somewhere in the middle. I think anyone who says they’re 100 percent right is definitely not right,” added Doran Welch of Stamford.

We can expect the propaganda fight to continue on the train platform for the rest of the month – if the ads can survive the graffiti.

The pro-Israeli group purchased ads at 75 locations along the three major Metro-North lines.
